Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom

I have always been a fan of Bee Train since Noir and have somewhat fallowed their work ever since I saw Noir, so when I heard about this series I just had to see it. I know that it is based on an video game but I haven't played it so I don't know how the story is compared to the game but for me this anime was awesome even though I perhaps didn't have the full back story. The story this time is a bit different from the previous titles I have seen from Bee Train, have only been fallowing their guns and girls series(Noir, Madlax and El Cazador de la Bruja) but this was according to me the best one so far, probably the best anime I have ever seen. I hope you will give this anime a chance cause I really believe its worth your time.

When I first saw this I got to admit I was sceptical it would be any good because I saw 'Phantom: The Animation' which was one of the worst OVA I ever saw! But this one despite different look of characters this was not a disappointment.

The story telling in the series was a lot more better then the OVA with far more depth and in spirit of the classic game of which I am a big fan of.

Also the characters were deeper and better presented and their portrayal was far better.

While I am adamant in my opinion the game is definitive I must say Requiem of the Phantom was a far better adaptation and interpretation then the OVA could EVER be!

In spite of its affectations, one of the most carefully layered love stories ever. There are producers in Hollywood who would kill for a script this good.

I joined the just for this anime. It started extremely well. Almost unique. But near the end it was disappointing and the end was TERRIBLE!!! Can't believe I wasted so much time watching this anime just to be extremely disappointed at the end!!

Not going to give spoilers. It is a little dark, for warning a child dies in this show. Doesn't have any gore, hardly any blood too, but there is some nudity. Honestly if you have a problem with it, it is easy to skip over it in this show. If I were you I would watch it. It has like three or four seasons. Everything that happens in it is fairly predictable if you watch other things like it. It isn't too slow and it isn't too fast, (but that is just personal preference). I actually have not checked what it is rated but it is most likely TV-MA. Depending on if you are reading this for giving your child permission, I would say obviously it would depend on your standards, there is minimal swearing, but you are big on no nudity I would say don't watch this other wise you should watch it. (I mean if you have done this much research and read all the way to here you might as well watch it). That is all I have to say.
